There's nothing wrong with the new mode. Other than players themselves running away which the devs can't change without mind control.
Maybe adjust the countdown system to select a player who's respawning even if it's slightly delayed over the single player in the group of three enemies.

It should just be hero blast. The target system just breeds scum and villainy. First to like 25 defeats or whatever. It is intended to be a silly side mode for those who like hero play more than infantry play so it’d give it a way better pace.
And make it 6v6

That’s not the problem. The fact that a game mode is being abused because of how the game mode itself is designed poorly, IS the issue in itself.

So basically if you worked a 40 hour week, and I decide not to pay you, using your logic I just tell you “but that’s how I operate, I don’t pay anyone”? You’d be ok because that’s how I function as an employer? You’d just work with other employees regardless of no compensation!?

No. You’d ask for a change. That’s why there are multiple threads on it. Because as it is, Heck NO, I want to fight, not run a marathon.

HVV how it’s supposed to be:

HVV how it Currently is:

I play HVV solely grouped now because of it. And thankfully as a team we deal with it. But that’s the problem, no one should be dealing with it at all whatsoever. It’s poorly designed. Not everyone can group up with a full team, most are stuck with randoms, and the issue itself is a turn off for both old and new players.

So no, I disagree with you entirely. And I’m baffled beyond measure as to how your advice to all is to just simply “deal with something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place because we’ve been screaming about it for months to be changed or give us an alternative”.

Yes. This. Make a 5v5 or 6v6 hero blast mode. No troopers involved. Make it first to 100 kills or something. This would be so much fun and most importantly do away with runners and glitch exploiters. +1 for HvV blast

Well elucidated. I'd add the obvious imbalance between the teams in their ability to run away (with no less than 5 DS heroes capable of outrunning or at least matching the fastest LS hero) as being evidence that it either wasn't an intended strat, or was extremely poor thought out from a balancing perspective.

I agree, leave HvV alone but add TDM mode, so players who don't want to catch runners can play also. HvV is hunting mode where you should be running and shooting, it is designed like that, it combines both running and combat that is why it is fun.

Lol And suppose the enemy team is playing as a team specifically so their Boba and Maul are constantly the target. So no absolutely not, Dice needs to drastically change this system.

Nearly 90% of the runners I encounter can't even land a kill when it comes down to actual combat. They always get torn apart once you finally catch them but by that time your target has already been whittled down to nothing. This essentially rewards bads for being bads and last I recall, mp games are skill based.

This game looks interesting, and I like how Yoda is racing by using his chair.

Just have the out of bounds area progressively shrink, and once a target dies it resets for the next round.

I forgot to mention, it stops at a small area, like the central area of Takodana (I think I mispelked that) on HvV will be the only spot in bounds if a target takes too long to die, unless the target is in combat, then the out of bounds area stays the same.

5 minutes = Your abilities are outright disabled. Your movement speed is set to 50%. Your max HP with gradually decrease by 10% for each minute that passes after this point.

....And just like that. The running problem was solved. For good.

I don't think that would work, what if the target of the team that is not running has lower max health, then it would die before the runner or if the other side manages to do a bit of damage to the not running target, just enough to be under Health regen cap, again the one not running dies first.

Funny thing, after posting that I remembered that it's exactly what Fortnite does. I don't like that game, but I think having a shrinking out of bounds area would be the perfect compromise.

Nah, so Maul can push you out of bounds and Kylo can freeze you? Or Chewie gets four free kills, or all the close range villans have a ball game, or Boba can simply use rocket barrage and hit everybody? I don't like that idea tbh.

Sounds like you just need to git better. Getting pushed out of bounds is part of the game. If you don’t like it, I wouldn’t put myself in that position

We are talking about a hypothetical mode man, and besides, I am pretty sure some Ps4 players can vouch for me that if anyone needs to git better, it's you.

The running is fine. It’s not that hard to kill a runner. Hero mode in BF15 sucked. I’m playing that mode to play as a hero, not a trooper

Once again please explain how running is fine? I play the game to battle, not chase people. Its not a matter of skill to take out a runner just a drawn out annoyance that drags on a game that shouldnt take that long.

I just quit a match filled with runners and had to repeatedly avoid being put in that same match with them thanks to the garbage matchmaking. I think you need to learn what makes or breaks a game instead of accusing others of not having the skill to play said game. Let me add I single handedly fended off the enemy team until of course my health was whittled down to zero due to the runners. Please tell me how its fair that a skilled player gets punished for an opponent being a coward.

Just to add in my previous post, players who are the target and manage to fend off and kill enemy players should get points for it. It makes zero sense when I single handedly kill 2-3 enemies or more even and we lose a point simply because the enemy target was a coward and avoided my team the entire time. Like I said, the current system only caters to bads and if you support this, I can only assume you are one of those very same bads.

First off I didn't even know HU was a thing but please please make that a permanent mode. That is what this game is truly missing. The game is obviously too hard to balance in HvV's current state. Some heroes are just better suited for infantry like yoda and running around as maul is super lame when hes the target. Then you have all the stuns that disable you for way too long.

In terms of what can be done for HvV I propose a different fix based off of a old map for the original team fortress quake mod. The Civilian. This was somewhat the same where the objective was to get the civilian (target) to a checkpoint and the opposing teams objective was to kill that target.

What would happen when you were the civilian however is you have no abilities, no blaster, nothing. Characters that become the "Civilian" could be diplomats in the game where everything is equal on both sides in terms of the target. There is no high speed running because neither side's targets can run fast (trooper speed), they are both the same. No more lukes or boba's hiding in unreachable areas other characters can't get to. And for the love of god after targets are killed make everyone respawn again.

This will absolutely force teams to not run in as they do now. It will encourage strategy, and grouping. You could even add troopers if you wanted, increase amount of heroes active or even make it so there is only one civilian and they have to get to a checkpoint.

My problem is proposing replacements for the target system, because I want the mode to stay fundamentally the same.

I just feel its not fun when maul just runs full speed from you when hes the target. I know others feel this way too. The only person who can even remotely get close to him is luke. So if theres a maul there has to be a luke. Same thing for boba as he can hide in such unreachable places. The only compromise I can see is to drastically limit jump height and run speed if you are the target so you can't just run the entire time. Running away like that isn't fun to play against.
